GenR8 Ministries Annual Conference – Do Not Lose Heart
Today I spoke at the GenR8 Ministries Annual Conference. “GenR8 helps NSW Scripture Teachers, Chaplains and Scripture Boards strengthen their ministry in NSW schools so that many more young lives will be transformed through the Lord Jesus Christ.”
It was a privilege to hang out with this great group of people. They are doing such a valuable work in NSW government schools, and there’s exciting plans in the pipelines. I kicked off the day speaking on 2 Corinthians 4 – Do Not Lose Heart.

Here is my Bible Reading plan for 2009: PDF or EXCEL (adpated from bibleyear.com). I plan to read the whole Bible this year. Reading a few chapters from 1 Old Testament book each day and one chapter from 1 New Testament book each day. I think this plan is more achievable than the M’Cheyne/Carson plan that seeks to read the OT once and the NT and Psalms twice each throughout the year from 4 different books per day. Never read the Bible? Start here then here.

Do not lose heart #3
We’ve seen that it’s easy to lose heart in the Christian life and in Christian ministry. We’ve also seen how 2 Corinthians 4 can encourage us to not lose heart. What does all this mean?
It means we keep in mind the big picture. We need to keep seeing the forest from the trees. When we are ready to give up, we need to fix our eyes on eternity.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him…
…For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. (Psalm 33:6-11)
